See, http://bugzilla.mplayerhq.hu/show_bug.cgi?id=1613 http://bugzilla.mplayerhq.hu/show_bug.cgi?id=1039 http://bugzilla.mplayerhq.hu/show_bug.cgi?id=1588 Different filters have problems in the face of some mpeg stream errors that may occur in OTA and cable broadcasts. If you run filters when viewing or recoding recorded video, then mplayer/mencoder may have issues. This is a problem in ffmpeg. Use of '-vfm libmpeg2' solves this issue... ffmpeg is probably faster. I don't know if there is a profile '[dvb]', but I would suggest using this libmpeg2 decoder as it seems more robust in the face of errors. The symptoms are corrupt video and/or crashing. The corrupt video persists for many frames. Restarting mplayer or switching channels seems to clear the issue. I had this issue frequently prior to getting a 1920x1200 monitor which allows all content to play without scaling; I did not understand the issue then. I then re-encountered this issue when encoding video with mencoder. hth, Bill Pringlemeir. ps, if someone can verify these problems with ffmpeg please report the problem there. I think mplayer developers will ignore this issue and ffmpeg want to know that this issue occurs with there program afaik. I haven't had time to do this but I have seen everything while debugging mplayer.
